This can't be done without some programming in C.  You have to understand
how to build Perl XS modules (which is what Speech.pm is (there should be a
corresponding Speech.xs)).  However, if you understand enough C, and have a
compiler and the MacPerl source, and the API headers handy, yes it can be
done.  Not simply, but possible.

However this may well be addressed in MacPerl 5.6, so a wait and see
attitude is warranted.
